Removing Part of a Vocal

Post by dbirchum » Fri May 15, 2009 3:06 pm

Hi all -

Question regarding Audacity. I have a very small .wav clip that I want to edit. Basically, its one person's voice saying a word, but at the VERY end of the clip (about 3 seconds), there is another background voice that I would love to be able to remove. Is this possible? Thanks,

Not if they're speaking at the same time.

If they're not, then there are certainly things you can do with copying room tone, etc. Which is it?

Yeah, one person actually speaks just at the end of the other one...

So I guess that means I can't do anything with it?

The only case in which you might be able to work it is if the two speakers were at the far extremes of the L & R stereo channels - but I'm guessing this is unlikely ...
